REACH Substances of Very High Concern

REACH Substances of Very High Concern

REACH Article 33 requires any supplier of an article containing Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) above the threshold of 0.1% weight by weight to provide the customer with sufficient information to allow safe use of the article.

Developing Sustainable Products

Nearly all of our global product lines are compliant to the Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (RoHS). The remainder of the products are in industry segments such as military and aerospace where RoHS compliant products are currently neither required nor, in most cases, accepted. We are also focused on Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) with dedicated programs and resources to deal with the increasing legislative requirements as well as business continuity concerns.

Working to Set Global Standards

TE actively participates in industry associations and standards organizations around the world, such as iNEMI, TechAmerica, and China RoHS Standard Working Groups, to provide input to the development of standards and regulations which address management and control of hazardous substances. TE also supports initiatives to develop an industry standard data exchange format and platform for product environmental compliance information. We believe that by adopting standards, industry can significantly lower the administrative burden of the multiple data exchanges needed throughout the supply chain.
